Prince Harry met with his father, King Charles III, in London on Wednesday, in what appeared to be the first step toward healing a rift that has sundered the British royal family since the prince and his American-born wife, Meghan, withdrew from royal duties and moved to the United States in 2020. A car carrying Harry, 40, was seen entering Clarence House, the king’s London residence, at 5:20 p.m. on a rainswept afternoon. Charles and his wife, Queen Camilla, had been staying at Balmoral Castle in Scotland earlier in the week, but returned to London, where the king also presided over an investiture ceremony at Clarence House on Wednesday, according to Buckingham Palace. But a palace official, speaking on condition of anonymity, said father and son had shared a private tea at Clarence House. The BBC reported that the session had lasted 55 minutes, somewhat longer than the 30 minutes that Harry spent with Charles in February 2024.
